erty end becomes one of the prominent fx-
lures of the place.
wv. N. Furgeson, the gentlemanly and
accommodating Wabash r. r. Agent at this
place, has purchased the handsome residence
of N. G. Wright, and now lives in the big
house. Will, his wife Lucy, and their son
Gail, are happy trio, and we wish them sue
cess in theirnew home.
We are about to loose our harness shop,
the only one of which we could boast of hav-
ing. We are all sorry that Mr.. Clark, its
owner and proprietor, and who is not only a
first class workman, but genial good fell
low, has become so soon discouraged and has
decided to pull up and leave. 1t is fixture
much needed in our midst and we still be-
lieve that a harness shop will pay here.
&C. G. Young met with quite a serious
accident one day last week. While in the
store of Young Bros. some of the clerks were
cutting nails and Mr.. Young was looking on
when the head of one of the cut nails struck
him in the left eye, inflicting serious wound
directly upon the sight ofthe eye. he has been
confined to dark room ever since, and fears

We now have a full school board but
no mill. The desire to scratch the itching
palms of those whose vanity causes them to
ever seek position and prominence, sacri-
feed the mill interests by the proscriptive
policy which the result of the school election
declared to be that which governed the man
agement of public affairs; that
"we are your guardians that increase,
cor waste your fortunes how we please;
"To whose integrity you must,
"In spite of all your caution, trust"
Responsible parties who had offered their
thousands to the project, seeing this was the
motto of the ring masters, quietly frightened
their purse strings and stepped out. Yet it is
hoped the millionairs will build mill.
.Revivals are again in order. Rev.
Spencer, assisted by Rev. L. e. Prentiss, are
holding forth in protracted effort in the NJ.
E. Church, warning sinners of the wrath to
come, exhorting them to flee to the fold of
Methodism as the safest ark in which to en-
bark in the lone journey across the dark river
of death.
The Seventh Day Adventists are also urg-
ing their claims, by two strange brethren, to
the superiority and infalibillity of their route
across the stormy billows, which consists in
a radical change of the Sabbath day with its
strict observance; the abstainance from pork
diet and the final and utter humiliation of all
the wicked for the devilment done in this
world. If the entire community is not made
wiser and better it will not be because they
have not had cline upon line and precept up
on precept," and if those who publicly ack-
nowledge that they "know there is reality |
in religion" and do it not, the fault must I
rest upon themselves, for che that knoweth |
his duty and doeth it not shall be beaten with |
many stripes"
Another new thing has struck our vii |
lage in the shape of o Peripatetic dentist, |
who, according to an ancient custome adpot- |
ed by tffose who would improve their stock,
Islands himself around" and makes weekly |
visits to our place, proposing to plug teeth |
according to "my method" of painless filling |
that will be firmer, more handsome and more |
durable than the original teeth; also extract
ing incisors, molars and roots by "my meth
cd" which is absolutely painless, infallible
and positively satisfactory. His generosity
extends even so far as to induce him to offer
TO insert whole sets of teeth by 'my method"
for price ranging anywhere from fifteen
cents up to as high figure as the credulity
of the victim will stand, and last "but not
least, )" "my method" of gulling the gullible
is offered to be practiced free of charge.
go. Last Monday noon when most people
we're home to dinner, the cry of fire was
heard which created quite an excitement and
soon assembled goodly crowd, where the
cause of the alarm was quickly discovered to
be the buring of the smoke house upon the
premises occupied by Jack Geyer, as a meat
market. The building was well filled with
hams and shoulders, which he was smoking,
from which the fire originated. The fire was
with but little loss outside of
the meat, which was prematurely roasted and
n quantity too large to be profitable. This
s the second time this same smoke house has
AIKEN fire, and it being in close relation with
he principal part of the business buildings
less of meat smoking in sickly old wood
building in immediate proximity to the bu-
iness part of town, is too hazardous busi-
less, especially after two warnings, to be 1
onger tolerated and our dads should give an
ye to it.
